ISBN: 0889842779Am 28.10.2006 erscheint dieses 96seitige Taschenbuch bei Porcupine Quill, welches von John Black und J. D. Black geschrieben wurde.

Ankündigung des Verlages:
"In this brilliant and unusual first book of poems, J. D. Black salutes The King not only with the occasional electric guitar but with stranger and more delicate melodies as well, a few strummed out on the dulcimer, others twanged along the nerves. Black reveals himself as a master of difficult forms extending from rondeaux and villanelles to mischievous haiku. But it would be mistaken to see him merely as a skilled traditionalist.

Amid the high polish of the poems rough surprises abound. The menacing redneck Len surfaces in several 'vignettes', his beery but robust visage scarcely contained by the strict sonnets through which he elbows. In these sly poems, Len, resplendent in his white Cadillac or cursing the 'sumbitch stepdaddy' of his squeeze, contrasts sharply with the sad diminished figure of Elvis, moping in a Quebec 'Gas-Bar de la Nuit'.

Black moves expertly from witty light verse to elegies as graceful as they are moving. In 'Last Train Out' the sense of loss of a Holocaust survivor is evoked through an abandoned stamp album. In 'Canis Lupus', the wolf hidden inside the dog is unleashed. This is a dazzling collection of superb craft and subtle mischief by a poet whose work has for too long remained a private delight."

ISBN: 0316730556"In Search of Elvis" erscheint am 01.02.2007, wurde von Charlie Connelly geschrieben, hat 336 Seiten und wird vom Brown Little Verlag veröffentlicht.

Ankündigung des Verlages:
"Since his death in 1977 Elvis Presley has become an even greater cultural icon than when he was making records and consuming deep-fried peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches.

IN SEARCH OF ELVIS sees Charlie Connelly set off on a journey to discover what makes Elvis so significant today and how his spirit is being kept alive more than half a century after he changed popular culture for ever. Charlie's odyssey takes him to Finland to meet an academic who performs Elvis songs in long-dead languages - while wearing a kilt; to Canada to find the orthodox Jewish Elvis tribute artist, Schmelvis; to Scotland to get fitted out with the Presley tartan; and culminates in Memphis, where Charlie stays at the Heartbreak Hotel (which is at the end of Lonely Street) and records a song in Sun Studio, the very room where Elvis arguably invented rock'n'roll.

Hilarious yet informative, and written with Charlie Connelly's customary wit and charm, this book will appeal to Elvis fans of all ages, plus the many travel-book aficionados who delighted in ATTENTION ALL SHIPPING."

This book tells the story of how it all began and gives you a look at the incredible (some never-before-seen) pictures."

ISBN: 1425962041"Elvis Interview: A Second Chance" so der Titel eines Buches, welches bereits im September 2006 erschien und von M. J. Allan geschrieben wurde.

Authorhouse kündigt dies wie folgt an:
"Elvis Presley and the publicity questioning the validity of his demise have been consistently explored and will for a number of years to come.

This story was not written to bring him back or revive his legacy. To the contrary, it was written to bring him peace and privacy, the common desire we all share.

Here is written one possible explanation of how death may have been cheated. This involved long term planning to prepare the funds, contacts, a safe house, medical teams, and psychotherapists, specializing in dc-programming issues. After his consent the plan was put into action."
